Definitions
- the present invention relates to a centrifuge according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for preventing ignition of flammable temperature control media according to the preamble of claim 14.
- Centrifuge rotors are used in centrifuges, in particular laboratory centrifuges, in order to separate the components from samples centrifuged therein, using the inertia. In order to achieve high segregation rates, ever higher rotation speeds are used.
- Laboratory centrifuges are centrifuges whose rotors operate at preferably at least 3,000, preferably at least 10,000, in particular at least 15,000 revolutions per minute and are usually placed on tables. In order to be able to place them on a work table, they have in particular a form factor of less than l m x l m x l m, so their installation space is limited.
- the device depth is max. 70 cm limited.
- centrifuges are used in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biology and chemistry.
- the samples to be centrifuged are stored in sample containers and these sample containers are driven in rotation by means of a centrifuge rotor.
- the centrifuge rotors are usually set in rotation by means of a vertical drive shaft which is driven by an electric motor. There are various centrifuge rotors that are used depending on the application.
- the sample containers can contain the samples directly or there are separate ones in the sample containers
- Sample containers are used which contain the sample, so that a large number of samples can be centrifuged simultaneously in one sample container.
- Centrifuge rotors in the form of fixed-angle rotors and swing-out rotors and others are generally known.
- samples are centrifuged at certain temperatures. For example, samples containing proteins and the like. Organic substances must not be overheated, so that the upper limit for the temperature control of such samples standardly lies in the range of + 40 ° C. On the other hand, certain samples are cooled by default in the + 4 ° C range (water anomaly starts at 3.98 ° C).
- active and passive systems can be used for temperature control.
- Passive systems are based on air-assisted ventilation. This air is led directly past the centrifuge rotor, which means that the temperature is controlled. The air is sucked through openings in the centrifuge bowl and the heated air is discharged through other openings at another point in the centrifuge bowl, the suction and discharge taking place independently by the rotation of the centrifuge rotor.
- Active cooling systems have a refrigerant circuit that temperature-regulates the centrifuge container, which indirectly cools the centrifuge rotor and the sample container accommodated therein.
- Many different media are used as refrigeration or tempering media in compressor-operated refrigeration systems. Since in principle not only cooling, that is to say heat extraction, but also the supply of heat during the centrifugation may be desired, the present invention refers to temperature control and temperature control media.
- temperature control media commonly used for centrifuges, such as chlorodifluoromethane, tetrafluoroethane, pentafluoroethane or difluoromethane and many more, there are also flammable temperature control agents such as butane or propane or a wide variety of synthetic mixtures.
- these flammable tempering media have very good heat transfer properties, they are mostly not used for safety reasons, since the tempering agent can escape and ignite in the event of a crash of the centrifuge rotor. In such a crash, fragments of the centrifuge can rotors act at high speed and therefore very high energy within the centrifuge and thereby also destroy the evaporator and lines that carry the temperature control medium. The flammable temperature control medium flowing out can then be easily ignited by the energy released in the crash and by electrical or electronic components inside or in the vicinity of the centrifuge, which can be associated with very great damage, in particular also personal injury.
- this task can be solved in a surprisingly simple manner if the pressure in the evaporator is then monitored to determine whether it is below a predetermined minimum value or above a predetermined maximum value. Measures to prevent possible ignition of the temperature control medium can then be initiated. In the event that the pressure is below a minimum pressure, it can be assumed that there is either a leak or a crash, wherein leakage in the evaporator is very unlikely, but nevertheless leads to a gradual release of flammable temperature control medium and a crash to a sudden release of flammable tempering medium. If the pressure is above a maximum pressure, there is a risk that there is a lot of flammable temperature control medium in the evaporator, which could escape and ignite in the event of a crash.
- the method according to the invention for preventing ignition of flammable tempering media in centrifuges, in particular after a crash of the centrifuge rotor the centrifuge, which is designed in particular as a laboratory centrifuge, a centrifuge container in which a centrifuge rotor can be accommodated, a centrifuge motor for driving the centrifuge rotor , Temperature control means with an evaporator and a compressor for temperature control of the centrifuge rotor and a housing in which the centrifuge container, the centrifuge rotor, the temperature control means and the centrifuge motor are accommodated, the temperature control means having a flammable temperature control medium which is guided in a temperature control medium line is characterized by the fact that the pressure in the evaporator is monitored to determine whether it is below a predetermined minimum pressure and / or above a predetermined maximum pressure.
- the pressure at the outlet of the evaporator is determined, a pressure sensor, in particular in the form of a pressure transmitter, preferably being used. This makes it particularly easy to monitor the pressure and take control measures directly.
- the predetermined minimum pressure is at least 0.7 bar, is preferably at least 1 bar and in particular is at least 1.3 bar.
- the predetermined maximum pressure is at most 5 bar, preferably at most 3 bar, in particular at most 2 bar.
- temperature control medium R290 propane is used.
- isobutane, propene, butene, etc. can also be used.
- R290 propane is preferred due to its advantageous parameters (pressure ranges, temperature profiles, boiling point, enthalpies and vol umetric efficiency).
- the pressure range depends directly on the temperature control medium used and the intended use (e.g. deep-freezing or normal cooling). It has been shown with R290 propane that the above-mentioned pressure range is advantageous.
- one or more of the following measures are carried out at an evaporator pressure below the predetermined minimum pressure:
- Residual electrical energy is directed to a fan of the centrifuge for its operation.
- Explosion-protected components are those according to the ATEX directive of the European Union (ATEX product directive 2014/34 / EU and the ATEX operating directive 1999/92 / EG), or elements that have a power consumption of less than 20 W.
- the centrifuge motor is preferably designed to be explosion-proof in order to fundamentally prevent ignition by the centrifuge motor.
- the temperature control medium circuit contains a quantity of temperature control medium of less than 150 g, preferably of less than 140 g, particularly preferably less than 130 g, in particular less than 120 g.
- the temperature control medium circuit contains a quantity of temperature control medium of more than 30 g, preferably more than 40 g, particularly preferably more than 50 g.
- the amount is advantageously in the range from 60 g to 110 g. However, the other amounts indicated can also be used for this range.
- centrifuge motor If the centrifuge motor is stopped, a crash that has not yet taken place is prevented or a crash that has already taken place is mitigated in its extent.
- the centrifuge motor is also advantageously switched off if the centrifuge motor is designed to be explosion-proof, because this results in mechanical crash protection.
- the temperature control medium is dispersed in such a way that ignition is made more difficult.
- Such an electrical fallback level could be realized, for example, by means of at least one relay that is constantly energized in normal operation. If, in the event of a crash, there is no current to pull on or a conscious change is made, the relay then makes contact with the residual electrical energy (for example from capacitors and the like) to the fan.
- capacitors could be capacitors provided as standard in the electronics of the laboratory centrifuge. Special capacitors or accumulators could also be used, which only exist to be charged during normal operation and to supply energy to the fan on request. For example, in the event of a crash, the request could be made by the aforementioned relay or the like.
- the amount of temperature control medium in the evaporator is reduced in the case of an evaporator pressure above the predetermined maximum pressure. In this way, a possible crash is prevented by keeping the ignitable amount as low as possible right from the start.
- one or more of the following measures are carried out at an evaporator pressure above the predetermined maximum pressure:
- the temperature control medium is fed into a temperature control medium storage.
- the amount that can be ignited is kept as low as possible.
- the temperature control medium is sucked out of the evaporator so that the amount that can be ignited is kept as low as possible.
- tempering medium is fed into a tempering medium store, the amount of ignitable tempering medium in the evaporator is also reduced. This can be done, for example, by closing a valve in the temperature control media circuit. So that no temperature control medium can flow into the evaporator. As a result, the compressor pumps the temperature control medium down to the minimum pressure and automatically introduces it into the open temperature control medium reservoir. The temperature medium is removed again from the temperature medium storage simply by opening the valve in the line. The valve remains open during normal operation.
- the supply of tempering medium to the evaporator is preferably interrupted.
- a fan of the centrifuge is started after switching on an electrical power supply to the centrifuge.
- any tempering medium that may have previously escaped is dispersed in such a way that possible ignition is prevented.
- constant protection is claimed regardless of whether the pressure in the evaporator is monitored or not.
- This or the previously mentioned fan which serves to disperse a possibly escaping temperature control medium, can be a fan specially set up for this purpose, but it can also be a fan for cooling the electronics of the centrifuge or a fan for operating the condenser the centrifuge act.
- the fan should preferably be set up in such a way that it overflows the tempering medium line at least in certain areas and / or flows through at least one, in particular a plurality of cavities in the centrifuge in such a way that the exhaust air that is produced is conveyed out of the centrifuge housing. These are preferably cavities that can fill with the exiting tempering medium.
- An advantageous further development provides that the fan is operated in such a way that no explosion-critical temperature-medium-air mixture is formed, preferably no temperature-medium-air mixture with a temperature medium content of 2 to 9% by volume.
- U na dependent protection is claimed for the centrifuge according to the invention, in particular La boron centrifuge, with a centrifuge container in which a centrifuge rotor can be accommodated, a centrifuge motor for driving the centrifuge rotor, temperature control means with a vaporizer and a compressor for temperature control of the centrifuge rotor and a housing, in which the centrifuge container, the centrifuge rotor, the tempering means and the centrifuge motor are accommodated, the tempering means having a combustible tempering medium which is guided in a tempering medium line which is characterized in that the centrifuge is adapted to determine whether the pressure in the evaporator is below a predetermined minimum pressure and / or above a predetermined maximum pressure.
- centrifuge is adapted to carry out the method according to the invention.
- At least one of the elements is an electrical supply line to a non-Ex-protected component, switch in the electrical supply line to a non-Ex-protected component and control of the centrifuge in the Crash area of the centrifuge are arranged. Then, in the event of a crash, the energy supply to the non-explosion-protected components is deliberately interrupted, thus preventing ignition.
- "Crash area” in this context means the area around the centrifuge container. If a crash safety device in the form of one or more stiffening elements or crash energy Absorber elements are present in the centrifuge, these elements should then be arranged between the centrifuge container and the stiffening elements or crash energy absorber elements or not.
- Input of the evaporator is arranged, wherein the solenoid valve is preferably arranged upstream of the pressure relief element.
- a solenoid valve which is always kept open by the electrical supply to the centrifuge, closes automatically due to spring force when the electrical supply is interrupted, as is to be expected in the event of a crash.
- the pressure monitor can automatically close the solenoid valve in the event of a pressure below the minimum pressure. In the event of a crash, this prevents the temperature control medium from flowing in and possibly being ignited.
- electronic injection valves (normally closed) or pressure switching valves can also be used.
- a check valve is arranged after the exit of the damper. This prevents tempering medium from flowing back from the condenser into the evaporator via the compressor, which leaks over time.
- a check valve another solenoid valve could also be used.
- At least one of the elements of the centrifuge motor, the electrical flap switch, the fan, the pressure monitoring control and the pressure monitoring sensor are explosion-proof and / or are designed to take up less than 20 W electrical power. As a result, these elements can be operated continuously and carry out the monitoring or ignition protection measures without contributing to ignition.
- the centrifuge has a gas sensor outside the temperature control means, so that leakages can be determined independently of a pressure drop below the minimum pressure in order to prevent the centrifuge from starting.
- the centrifuge is designed to supply a fan with residual electrical energy in the centrifuge after the electrical energy supply has failed, preferably a relay being provided which is supplied by the electrical energy supply and in the event of electrical failure Energy supply connects at least one element with residual electrical energy to the fan, the at least one element being in particular a capacitor. This ensures that the temperature control agent is dispersed for as long as possible even in the event of a crash and if the electrical power supply fails.
